HRS AS A COMPANY

HRS, the pioneer in business travel, aims to elevate every stay through innovative technology. With over 50 years of experience we reinvent how companies and travelers Stay, Work, and Pay.

The lodging and meeting management market is sizable and growing rapidly - yet it’s still underserved by technology players. That’s where HRS comes in. We challenge legacy structures and cut through complexity.
Our Copilot and Connect platform applications seamlessly plug into any of our customer’s tech stacks. They are powered by our AI-enabled platform, which turns fragmented data from the entire ecosystem into enriched level 3 data. Built on proprietary large and small language models, our technology delivers real-time actionable insights and automation that works. The result: A competitive edge customers won’t want to miss – cost savings, higher traveller satisfaction and increase in compliance.
Our business model is equally compelling. Strong customer lock-in, clear expansion plans into adjacent use-cases and in-destination experiences, and a SaaS model with recurring revenues and high margins drive a long-term growth pathway and high profitability.
At HRS, we make business life better by reinventing how companies work and stay.
That’s why HRS's exponential growth since 1972 serves over 35% of the global Fortune 500 and leading hotel chains.
